These 31 theatrical shorts come from the Fleischers' late 1930s heyday, when Popeye the Sailor cartoons rivaled Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse in popularity. Among the highlights are "Shakespearian Spinach," in which Popeye and Bluto compete for the lead in Romeo and Juliet; "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp," a Technicolor two-reeler; and "Nurse-Mates," where Olive Oyl must cope with Popeye's nephews Pip-eye, Pup-eye, Poop-eye, and Peep-eye. Also included in this two-disc collection are commentaries from animators and historians; a documentary about the Fleischers; an interview with Jack Mercer, the voice of Popeye; and two classic Fleischer cartoons, "Popular Science" and "The Mechanical Monsters."
